gitea-runner: workflow container.options passes host namespaces and capability flags to job container when privileged mode is disabled

CVSS 8.8 EPSS <1%1 agency advisoryFix available

[ Description ]Official description

Gitea Runner passes workflow-controlled container options into Docker job container configuration while privileged mode is disabled. Host namespace settings, expanded capabilities, and security profile overrides can remain effective despite Privileged being forced false. A workflow author able to run jobs on an affected Docker-backed runner can use these options to access host namespaces and execute commands as root on the runner host, bypassing the intended container isolation.
